The pravastatin group showed a non-significant lower rate of preeclampsia (17.5% vs 35% in controls), lower rates of severe preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, acute kidney injury, and severe hypertension. Additionally, there was a significant reduction in iatrogenic preterm delivery and improved neonatal outcomes, including higher birthweights and Apgar scores, and lower rates of composite neonatal morbidity and NICU admissions.
The study aims to demonstrate feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of the intervention in reducing mental health distress among mothers, with the goal of improving their overall well-being and parenting capabilities.
Higher FA supplementation (≥600 mcg/day) was associated with attenuated associations between MDC exposures and liver injury outcomes in both mothers and children.
Increased awareness and use of MR services could potentially reduce maternal and child mortality rates associated with unintended pregnancies.
The intervention significantly reduced the rich-poor ratio in the utilization of skilled 4+ ANC (from 2.4:1 to 1.1:1), childbirth (from 1.7:1 to 1.0:1), and PNC (from 2.5:1 to 1.0:1), indicating improved access for poorer mothers.
Significant improvement in knowledge scores among trained CHWs, positive feedback from mothers regarding the content and usability of the app, and a desire for regular delivery of the app's services.
Increased KMC coverage was achieved in studies that applied high-intensity interventions across multiple health system building blocks, with significant improvements noted in studies with mean skin-to-skin contact of 8 hours or more per day.
The program aims to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, reduce chronic disease risk factors, and enhance overall health outcomes in older adults, potentially decreasing the incidence of Alzheimer's disease.
The study expects favorable recruitment rates and a positive impact on perinatal mood disorder symptoms, similar to findings in non-pregnant populations. It aims to establish a foundation for larger studies to further validate the efficacy of these interventions.
The 2wT intervention resulted in an 80% retention rate at 12 months post-ART initiation, compared to 67% in the standard of care group. It also demonstrated potential cost savings if scaled up to more clients.
Some mHealth interventions demonstrated a significant reduction in blood pressure among participants, particularly those that incorporated care teams, indicating potential effectiveness in managing hypertension in vulnerable groups.
Participants in the digital delivery group experienced weight loss that was non-inferior to that of the face-to-face group. Those who were given a choice and opted for digital delivery showed greater weight loss compared to those who were only offered face-to-face sessions.
High feasibility was confirmed with a recruitment rate of 42.6%, attrition rate of 2.5%, health coaching attendance of 97%, class attendance of 91.2%, and high assessment completion rates (questionnaire=98.8%; physical functioning=97.5%).
Enrollment in the ISVMP was associated with improved weight gain in infants with high and middle social vulnerability, with those enrolled gaining 4 gm/day and 2 gm/day more, respectively, compared to pre-ISVMP controls. Additionally, the program significantly reduced the association between social vulnerability and growth failure.
Significant increases in antenatal care attendance (OR=1.89), tetanus toxoid immunization (OR=1.63), compliance to iron supplementation (OR=1.88), and postnatal care attendance (OR=2.54) were observed among mothers receiving mHealth interventions compared to the control group.
Increased self-efficacy among women leads to improved health behaviors and empowerment in managing their sexual and reproductive health.
Increased awareness and understanding of uterine fibroids can lead to improved health-seeking behavior, timely diagnosis, and appropriate treatment, ultimately enhancing quality of life for affected women.
The study found that the pooled prevalence of good BPCR among women in Nigeria was 58.7%, with increased awareness and preparedness over recent years. More than half of the women had knowledge of obstetric danger signs, arranged for transportation, and saved money for childbirth-related expenses.
Positive outcomes include improved acceptability of the care pathway among health workers and policymakers, increased demand for comprehensive outpatient care, and potential improvements in routine care quality for at-risk infants and their mothers.
The study highlights a significant prevalence of maternal disrespect and abuse, indicating a need for targeted interventions to improve maternal care and encourage facility-based childbirth.
Participants reported increased understanding of cardiovascular risks, improved confidence in discussing health issues with providers, and a supportive community for sharing personal experiences.
The study highlights the need for targeted intervention programs that can improve the mental health and well-being of HIV-positive mothers and their children living with HIV.
